Mama, You'd Have Been Proud of Me

The one I love so much told me goodbye

It hurt so much but I didn't cry

I let a smile hide my misery

Mama, you'd have been proud of me

Yesterday I talked to him just like a friend

Smiled and asked him how he'd been

Said, "I hope you're happy as can be"

Mama, you'd have been proud of me

And if you could have seen me today

I smiled and laughed in my own carefree way

They thought that I was like I'd like to be

Mama, you'd have been proud of me

Mama, you'd have been proud of me
